We’re getting well into the harvest season and it’s a perfect time to read about this time of year with the kids! We’ve already featured a harvest unit study, but I wanted to share a few more children’s books about harvest that feature picking apples, pumpkins, corn, and all kinds of fall produce.
There are even books that talk about the harvest moon, which is a great way to talk about lunar cycles.
Once you read a couple of these books, be sure to take the kids pumpkin picking, apple picking, or running through a corn maze. You might even want to make an apple pie with your kids!
By the way, if you make an apple pie successfully, please explain it to me. I’m terrified of attempting to make a pie from scratch. 🙂

Apple pie making is simple! Don’t be scared because there’s NOTHING like a fresh homemade apple pie 🙂 but I get being intimidated! Start out simple with an apple crisp still amazing and a ton faster to make! We just made this with the kids after he went to an apple orchard and picked the apples. Definitely going to make this again! Thanks for all your suggestions forward to doing some of your suggestions next week at school.
